I don't know if different caps will fit into your block. I think any caps from L-16 through L-28 should work. Although the thrust bearing caps are different

How many do you need? Which ones?

I need all of them.

Are you trying to keep the numbers matching block? If not, I would source an L28 block and go that way. If I wanted to keep numbers matching, I would try to source a seized or blown up block off of CL. The block will have to be "line bored" anyway once you install new caps. It probably won't be much if any cheaper to just source caps because it renders the donor block useless.

Yes I am trying to keep it a numbers matching car. I secured some caps and bolts this morning and hopefully they will work and just need a slight line bore. Thanks for your help!!

Yes, of course. Find a good machine shop and you should be good.
